Netflix’s animated rendition of the popularLeague of Legendsgame,Arcane, soared to incredible heights with its first season. With just seven months remaining until the release ofArcaneSeason 2, details about the upcoming narrative remain shrouded in mystery. However, Ella Purnell, the talented voice behindthe series' central character Jinx, has recently revealed a tantalizing detail regarding the show’s end.
Amid the promotional buzz surrounding her latest TV show,Fallout,Purnell spoke to TechRadar. While the primary focus of this exclusive interview was not intended to center onArcane, the actress could not resist slipping a subtle detail about the forthcoming season. Steering clear of any significant spoilers, Purnell hinted that viewers, much like herself, are in for an emotionally gripping experience when they reach the finale of the show.
While careful not to divulge any significant spoilers, Purnell disclosed that her recollection ofthe upcoming season’s plot is somewhat hazy, given the two-year gap since her involvement. However, she shared: “I actually just went back into the studio to complete some ADR [automated dialog replacement] for the season 2 finale – and I cried. So, I think other people will cry, too. It’s devastating, and nobody will feel good after watching it.” Her hint suggests that fans should brace themselves for an emotionally charged journey in Season 2, advising them to have tissues handy for the rollercoaster of emotions.
Of course, her reply does not directly reveal details about the season’s overall storyline, but it does hint at the possible conclusion of Jinx’s and Vi’s story. However, this is purely speculative as there are currently no fully confirmed plot details available.In a 2022 clip featuring character voiceovers, it is confirmed that Vi and Caitlyn will return, teaming up to hunt down Jinx. This indicates that the second season will likely continue from the climactic finale of the first. Additionally, the first teaser released in January suggests a different focus, possibly on the mad alchemist Singed and his augmented, wolf-like creation Warwick,both briefly introduced in the first season. Warwick, a character familiar toLeagueplayers, may have connections to the former rebellion leader Vander, although this remains uncertain.
ArcaneSeason 2 is set to premiere on Netflix in November 2024.
